Company History

The Cutting Corporation was founded in the District of Columbia in 1971 as a comprehensive audio recording and duplication company. In 1991, the owners established Potomac Talking Book Services as a not for profit company to specifically serve the needs of the visually impaired community. The Audio Preservation Lab was built in 1999 from a large demand for digitization services. In 2004 GraphicAudio, a publishing imprint of The Cutting Corporation was launched to produce full cast dramatized audiobooks with cinematic music and sound effects.
